'Green Zebra' Tomato

Botanical Name: Solanum lycopersicum

Description: I love the lime-emerald colored flesh and invigorating lemon-lime flavor of this unusual and exquisite tomato. It took four heirloom varieties to make up the combination of breeding to establish this one tomato masterpiece. The 2-3 ounce fruits are slightly elongated with some small ridges at the shoulder. I find the unique flavor is tangy and slightly tarter than regular tomatoes making it perfect to spice up salads and salsa or adding color to homemade cooked dishes. The well-branched vines provide good foliage cover with some resistance to septoria leaf spot.

Flowering Habit:

Indeterminate

Chef Jeff's Tips: Tomatoes need a long growing season with moderate temperatures, night time lows need to between 60 to 75 degrees for tomato flowers to set. Grow along a trellis or in a tomato cage in order to have a secure base to stake the plant as it grows. Weather you choose a canning or a salad variety, we recommend three to five plants of each variety for the average family.
